The Families at Pastor Johns House
"When Tim and I met and received the holy Ghost in 1985 and got married in 1986, we had many dreams of what our life would be like as we would grow together through the years. We were young, immature, and had no real role models of holiness in our lives. But, we did have one thing that kept us together through the good times and the hard times: the desire to be close to God. There were times of happiness, but there were also times of hurt because we had not been taught how to really take care of each other's hearts...." (READ MORE) "The marriage that my wife and I have today is not the same marriage we had when we began 5 years ago. It started out rocky due to various issues. One of the main issues being lack of communication. The problems began to get worse as time went on. So I sought for help from my Pastor....." (READ MORE)
"My husband Rob and I have been married now for 25 years. At the time we started coming to the meetings, Pastor John has encouraged Rob and I to be a help to each other, to care for each other, and to work together. ....." (CLICK FOR MORE OF DONNA'S TESTIMONY)

"Diane and I have been married for thirty-nine years and we have had the holy Ghost for ten years. God has been so good to us over the years, but especially the last ten. Jesus has drawn us closer to Him and we to each other. Our love and respect for each other has grown more deeply because of Him. There is a peace and contentment in our home that only Jesus can give....." (READ MORE)
"In 2006, I decided to divorce my abusive and financially burdensome husband. Pastor John fully supported me in my decision. Throughout my life, I have heard stories of women being told by ministers that they have to stay with their husbands "no matter what" — no matter the abuse, no matter the unfaithfulness...." (READ MORE) " One of our personal desires from the beginning of our marriage was that we could have a marriage where we remained faithful to each other and to Jesus. Because of the things Jesus has shown us, we have had a happy and fruitful marriage. Our faithfulness and love for each other as husband and wife has been evident nearly 28 years now....."

"I hope this will help someone who feels trapped in an abusive relationship and sees no way out, whether the abuse is physical or, as in my case, mental and emotional. My ex-husband and I married in 2001, after just a few months of spending time together and barely getting to know one another. We both soon regretted that we had rushed into the marriage, and after only two months of marriage, I called my pastor and told him I wanted out...." (READ MORE)
"Anna and I really enjoyed your teaching on Marriage and Divorce. The Q&A session (link) on the marriage and divorce issue was wonderful. The part that stuck out the most to me was the part about a believing spouse being married to an unbelieving spouse; it reminded me of what happened to Anna and myself. When God started calling Anna to Him she asked me to go with her to a gathering and I did -- reluctantly, not really wanting to go. ..." (READ MORE)
"In 2004, our marriage was suffering primarily because we were close to $250,000 in debt. This caused an obvious strain on our relationship. We were unable to communicate with each other and there was constant tension and strife between us. At one point, I had decided that divorce was the only way out. I felt overwhelmed with the situation....." (READ MORE)
"My wife Julie and I have had several trials in our life together over the years. The amazing thing to us is that we are still together. Our main trials have been financial in nature, which is something that destroys relationships every day....." (CLICK FOR MORE OF DARREN'S TESTIMONY)
Darren and I met at our place of employment in 1995. We had worked there for over a year, but had never talked to one another. I had to ask Darren a question one day about some paperwork, and something sparked inside me while we were speaking...." (CLICK FOR MORE OF JULIE'S TESTIMONY)
"When my wife, Doris, was a young girl, she would pray asking the Lord to give her a husband that loved her, to have a child, and that we would worship the Lord together. We were both in our 30’s in 1988 when we got married in the Lutheran Church she had attended all of her life. This was her first marriage and my second....." (READ MORE)
"Pastor John, I have been taught that I can not remarry. My husband left my 2 & 1/2 year old son and myself 34 years ago. I have lived alone and supported my son and myself with no help from him. For years he would never come to see our son. All I want to do is serve my master, the Lord, and find peace at the end of the way....." (READ MORE) "I would like to take this time to thank John David Clark Sr. for richly increasing the quality of my marriage, and of my life. John became my Pastor in 2001, and through his love, concerns for my life and family, along with the care I have received since he became my Pastor & friend, I have a happy and contented life. My wife Judy and I are very grateful to know John, his children, and his wife, Barbara. They all have added to my life, and I love them as they were my own family......" (READ MORE)

"At the age of 31 I came to a point in my life where I was very unhappy. I was married at the time, had two children, and a successful career. I knew that the relationships within my family were not good. I knew this because 6 years prior I attended a prayer meeting where the minister’s message on marriage went into my heart......"

"We were married at an early age, not knowing anything about God or marriage. Several years later, in the early 1980’s, we met Pastor John and began to travel to their home prayer meetings. Through the godly examples of the individuals around us, we learned how to treat each other. Specifically, Pastor John taught us the importance of maintaining a right relationship by taking care of the hearts around you...." (READ MORE)
